A zeolite deposit has been
sampled offshore from Australia and indications are that it is high
percentage clinoptilolite. Estimated reserves are 400 million tonnes.
We are seeking expressions of interest from potential developers
of this deposit and will consider all offers.

Lovat
V.C. Rees |
| |
It is with great sadness that
we report the death of Professor Lovat Rees on May 1, 2006. He was
a pioneer in many areas of zeolite science - the theory and applications
of zeolite adsorption and cation exchange, and the use of novel methods
such as those of Mossbaur spectroscopy, Szilard-Chalmers recoil and
frequency response techniques. He received many well deserved honours
- including the IZA Award, the Eminent Visitors award of the South
African Catalysis Society, and an Award from the Japanese Society
for the Promotion of Science. His longstanding links with China resulted
in the award of a Full Professorship for Life from Fushun University
and the Chinese Government Friendshiop Award. He was a Fellow of the
Royal Society of Edinburgh and held an Honorary Fellowship of the
Federation of European Zeolite Associations.
Lovat is perhaps best known in the zeolite community for the science and hospitality
of the BZA Chislehurst Conferences that he introduced in 1981 and organized every
three years with the help of his wife Elizabeth until 1999. He founded the journal Zeolites and
the Chemical Abstract service for zeolites.
He also co-founded the British Zeolite Association and served as its first President.
The zeolite community has lost not only an outstanding zeolite scientist, but
also a very good friend. |

IZA
membership is valid for 6 years - do you need to reconfirm? |
| |
|
So that our records remain
up-to-date, IZA membership is only valid for 6 years. However, it
can be renewed at any time. To see if you need to reconfirm your membership,
check your entry in the IZA
Address Database. The date last modified is the date used to calculate
the membership duration. To reconfirm your interest in being a member
of the IZA, simple click on "EDIT your entry", make any
necessary changes to your data, and click on "submit updated
address"
(even if you have made no changes). An e-mail requesting confirmation
will then be sent to your e-mail address. In future, participation
in an International Zeolite Conference will cause membership to be
renewed automatically. |

John
D. Sherman |
| |
It is with great sadness that
we report the death of John D. Sherman, retired UOP Fellow. Most recently
John had been a Consultant with UOP, and was on the faculty at University
of Massachusetts at Amherst. He received his PhD in Chemical Engineering
in 1966 from MIT, and prior to joining Union Carbide Corporation in
1969, he spent four years as an Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering
at MIT and 3 years at Norton Company, where he was active in a variety
of projects, involving zeolites, catalysts, and catalyst carriers.
After joining UCC/UOP, John became the senior scientist in adsorption
fundamentals, and participated heavily in virtually all activities
associated with the use of molecular sieves as adsorbents. He contributed
not only to fundamental understanding of adsorption phenomena, but
also to scale-up and manufacturing problem-solving, and to market
development as well. |
